If you miss 3 or more pills it can cause you to have a period even thought its the 2nd period that month. This is because you missed pills. Missing pills puts you at high risk of pregnancy and problems in your cycle and how well the pill will prevent pregnancy.
While the birth control pill tends to make your period more regular, it can also cause a missed or late period. If you haven't missed any pills, there's no special need to worry about pregnancy. If you've missed pills, or if it's your second missed period in a row, take a pregnancy test and contact your health care provider.

Missing pills to often can cause this proplem.
Skipping pills can cause the progestin levels to drop low enough to cause a period. If missing pills is a common occurence for you, the pill is not going to have the birth control effectiveness that you are seeking, and you should consider other methods.
If you're on birth control and have missed any pills this can result in a early period. Alternatively pregnancy, irregular periods or hormone imbalance can also cause a early period.

Missing pills can lead to withdrawal bleeding. You may want to consider an alternative method, since missing pills greatly reduces the effectiveness of the pill.

Hello there. Yes a period can be delayed if you have missed some of your birth control pills.
Hi, The following things will cause a regular cycle woman to miss her period: * Pregnancy * Missed taking birth control pills * Recently started taking birth control pills * Irregular periods * Illness * Stress It is always best to rule out pregnancy by performing a pregnancy test 2-3 weeks after you last had intercourse. If you have recently been unwell or having episodes of recent stress, this can result in a delayed/missed period.
Its possible but pretty unlikely. If you miss any pills then follow the instructions (which are normally to continue as if you hadn't missed any pills).
